This interview was recorded for the GOTO Book Club. #GOTOcon #GOTObookclub http://gotopia.tech/bookclub Read the full transcription of the interview here: https://gotopia.tech/bookclub/episodes/moving-beyond-monoliths-microservices Vaughn Vernon - Co-Author of "Strategic Monoliths & Microservices" and DDD and Reactive Leader @vaughnvernon1938 James Higginbotham - Author of "Principles of Web API Design" and Executive API Consultant at LaunchAny DESCRIPTION Microservices have become more than a buzzword and are now viable alternatives to monoliths, which makes understanding why and how they should be used more important than ever. Thinking strategically about software architecture has to be the cornerstone of any software development. Vaughn Vernon, author of “Strategic Monoliths and Microservices: Driving Innovation Using Purposeful Architecture” (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Vernon)), and James Higginbotham, author of “Principles of Web API Design”, discuss purposeful architecture, why events matter in software and much more. The interview is based on Vaughn's book "Strategic Monoliths & Microservices": https://amzn.to/3AcUscj TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:50 The Pearson Addison-Wesley Signature Series by Vaughn Vernon 07:12 Who should read "Strategic Monoliths and Microservices" 12:17 At the frontier between business and technical strategy 15:13 What does digital/business transformation stand for? 18:36 What are the four main pillars of the book? 27:39 Why are events important in software architecture? 33:14 How can events make organizations more resilient? 40:40 From asynchronous call request-response to event-driven reactive 45:29 What is purposeful architecture? 55:07 Recommendations for refining your monoliths or microservices 59:42 Upcoming book: hands-on coding for purposeful architectures 61:50 Outro RECOMMENDED BOOKS Vaughn Vernon & Tomasz Jaskula • Strategic Monoliths & Microservices • https://amzn.to/3AcUscj James Higginbotham • Principles of Web API Design • https://amzn.to/3FHMR6C Vaughn Vernon • Implementing Domain-Driven Design • https://amzn.to/3o0KZjl Vaughn Vernon • Domain-Driven Design Distilled • https://amzn.to/3IEufpT Vaughn Vernon • Reactive Messaging Patterns With the Actor Model • https://amzn.to/3r2UQXP Sam Newman • Monolith to Microservices • https://amzn.to/2Nml96E Sam Newman • Building Microservices • https://amzn.to/3dMPbOs Ronnie Mitra & Irakli Nadareishvili • Microservices: Up and Running • https://amzn.to/3c4HmmL Mitra, Nadareishvili, McLarty & Amundsen • Microservice Architecture • https://amzn.to/3fVNAb0 https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.instagram.com/goto_con https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #Microservices #Monoliths #VaughnVernon #JamesHigginbotham #Programming #MicroservicesArchitecture #PurposefulArchitecture #SoftwareArchitecture #StrategicMonolithsAndMicroservices #Coding #VaughnVernonSignatureBook #AddisonWesley #DigitalTransformation #BusinessTransformation CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUS Join this channel to get early access to videos & other perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/join Looking for a unique learning experience?
